The Empty Driveway

[Intro]
[Verse]
The grass is overgrown and tall
Shadows creeping down the hall
Your old man’s truck is gone for good
Deep inside the neighborhood
I still check the mailbox every day
Waitin' for a word you’ll never say
The silence is a heavy weight
Leaning on the garden gate
[Pre-Chorus]
And the 12-string hums a hollow tune
Underneath a fading moon
I’m still tracing lines upon the map
Falling through the giant gap
[Chorus]
Where did you go?
The only friend I used to know
Left me standing in the rain
With a ghost inside my brain
I won’t let the memory fade
In the house that we both made
Yeah, I’m still holding on
Even though you’re long gone
[Post-Chorus]
I’m still holding on
Yeah, I’m holding on
Where did you go?
I need to know
[Verse]
We swore we’d leave this town behind
Two of us were one of a kind
Now I’m the only one who stayed
Watching all the colors fade
Did you find a better life out there?
Or did you vanish into thin air?
No postcard and no phone call home
Just a king without a throne
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the strings begin to ring
Waiting for the news you bring
But the driveway stays as cold as stone
And I’m standing here alone
[Chorus]
Where did you go?
The only friend I used to know
Left me standing in the rain
With a ghost inside my brain
I won’t let the memory fade
In the house that we both made
Yeah, I’m still holding on
Even though you’re long gone
[Bridge]
I’m screaming at the empty sky
And I never got to say goodbye
Was it something that I said?
Or a secret in your head?
The frustration burns like gasoline
In a world that’s turned so mean
I refuse to close the door
I’m still waiting for the roar
Of your engine in the night
Bringing back the only light
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Where did you go?
The only friend I used to know
Left me standing in the rain
With a ghost inside my brain
I won’t let the memory fade
In the house that we both made
Yeah, I’m still holding on
Even though you’re long gone
[Post-Chorus]
I’m still holding on
Yeah, I’m holding on
Where did you go?
I need to know
[Outro]
